12 Days of Blessing!

Since our last post in February, the Lord has opened the windows of heaven and poured out a blessing!
On March 30th. the need was very great in Migori. The drought had taken a serious toll on the water and food supply.
 People and animals alike were dying and there was no means of correcting the mounting problems.

 There was nothing to plant for a much needed crop that could be harvested by June. The rains were forecast to return in just days. They were down to the wire to get something in the ground.

 They had no bulls to help with plowing, no seed to plant, no fertilizers (all animals died so they had no manure), no medicine to treat water borne illnesses, no clean water, no food to keep workers nourished while hand digging, and all seemed hopeless.

But Then God Answered Prayer!

 We put out a plea for help...many answered the need with donations. One donor even pledged to match donations! ,,,,,,,,   $10,000.00 came in over the next 12 days! A miracle!

Boniface ordered two bulls right away from the border of Uganda, to be used to plow the ground.

He rode the 6 hr. trip back with the bulls in the truck to insure a safe delivery.
He ordered needed seeds, fertilizers, army worm spray, and much needed medicines.

Upon his return they found that the old plow his dad owned for many years was worn out and was unable to  dig deep enough behind the bulls.
 Boniface was able to purchase another one at a market.




Pictured below are the new crops coming in!








They were also able to put in two hand dug wells ! One at his dad's village and another one ten miles from that one. Now many will have access to safe clean water!





Looking forward to a beautiful harvest in June!
Isn't The Lord Good?

February 2024 Update

Greetings Friends, Last year was a very exciting year for Migori! The Lord has done a quick work way beyond any of our imaginations. Late in the fall of 2022 we were informed that the Government in Kenya gave us just a few short months to build an updated church on our land.  In October of 2022, Boniface made an emergency trip to the USA to seek help for constructing a new building before our land would be taken. As Boniface was preaching and visiting different churches , the governing surveyors in Migori were sent to measure the ground, anticipating the forfeiture. Needless to say time was running out and we still had no solution. Then…. came the “Day of the Miracle” needed to save the property! By late November the funds came! All Glory to the Lord who made it possible as only He can. Boniface quickly returned to get the building underway!  During Boniface’s visit in November of 2022…unknown to us….another Miracle was in the works in tandem with the Building Miracle. Donatio...

The Lord Makes A Way.....Again!

New Year Brings New Challenges! January, the orphans started their new school year with the usual expenses of school fees and supplies.  February started with very dry conditions, and our four existing shallow wells were soon showing signs of going completely dry. It became very difficult to find sources of clean water.  During this difficult month we were able to get the existing corn harvest in before the dry conditions ruined the crop. Thank you Lord!  The very dry conditions and lack of clean water caused many to became ill.  They came to our Clinic to be treated for Chlorea and other waterborne illnesses. This very quickly put a strain on our medical stock.     March soon arrived and with it the need to begin plowing and preparing our farm land for the next planting. How could we meet these challenges in such a small time frame? The Lord Makes A Way Again!      Right On Time! Our fundraiser lasted 7 da...

 While in Migori working on the Water Project the board was able to spend some time with our Migori Orphans and other kids in the community. Below are some of the photos and videos from that experience.
